These are important point's to check before you send your
piece to be printed.

1. Show a sample to Mail Service Center to review
the layout and content of your piece to avoid any problems
later in the process.

2. "Illinois State University" must be the first line of
your return address for any non-profit mailings. Any logo included to
the left of the return address is considered the first line of the address.

3. The permit has to be located in the upper right 1.5"
of the address panel. The return address cannot go beyond 50% of the mail
piece's length or 1/3 of it's height. For more information about the
different permits, click
here. See below for example.

4. The fold needs to be at the bottom of
the mail piece and the tab at the top. The fold needs to be clean and
crisp with the top and sides of the page lining up or it will be refused.

5. A folded self mailer has a maximum of
SIX (6)
8 1/2" x 11" pages. If your self mailer has more than SIX (6) 8 1/2" x
11" pages then the piece will have to be stitched and sent out at the flat rate for an
additional 22¢/piece charge.
